    Not sure of the species ( I haven't identified it yet). I captured this image in my backyard on a set up for birds. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Very nice indeed great position of the wings and legs - well done
    I don't know what species it is but it looks like a slightly heavier version of what we would call a darter = hawkers I think over there?

    What a wonderful capture! Everything sharp except the wings, which looks like motion blur and adds to the action. And a color-coordinated perch!

    Pretty cool BIF (bug in flight!). I like the legs deployed ready for landing. Good variation to the BG to add interest there too.

    Very nice detail on your flying DF - not an easy thing to do - and something I have yet to accomplish. Very well done!
